Something called the Dogwood Invitational, looks like a bunch of college aged kids. Played at Druid Hills GC in Atlanta. Prior winners of the Dogwood include Webb Simpson & Brian Harman.

Davidson junior Alex Ross shoots a 57 in the third round, after shooting 75,73 the first 2 days.

Alex Ross' career collegiate best round was a 67, but on Thursday at Druid Hills Golf Club he made 13 birdies and an eagle for a 15-under 57

Alex's 57 puts him in T9 heading into today's fourth round

I remember my first time breaking 60.  I was so nervous going to the second nine after that great score.

Seriously, nicely done.  I wonder how many great rounds came out of college golf from players who don't make it to the professional tour.

That's a phenomenal score (to say the least) and it shows his potential.  At the same time, that, in itself, doesn't augur a professional career.

Great score. Kudos to him. Given his score the first two days, though, it could just be a great day and nothing more. He’ll prolly make some $$$ on the web.com.

I'm not sure I've shot 57 on a video game. That scorecard is incredible. 27 on the back 9? God damn.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I have.  I picked up Tiger Woods 2012: The Masters again recently.

Great score. Unfortunately that’s most likely the last we’ll hear of him.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
